90s Nostalgia: 9 Monica Geller Outfits To Channel The Vintage Fashion Trend

We’re going to start very easy. It’s a look for the days you don’t want to spend an hour thinking about what you’re going to wear, and throw the first, most comfortable thing you see for work. Boots, comfy jeans, and a snug cardigan — you can’t ever go wrong with these, plus it looks on point every time. 

If it were up to us, we’d wear our hoodie everywhere (we still do). Work, mall, brunch — hoodies (and oversized t-shirts in summer) are as comfortable as it gets and we’re in our ‘comfortcore’ era. Even if you don’t agree with our reasoning you know there’s hardly anything cooler than streetwear at the moment. It’s having its moment and the fashion industry is embracing it with open arms. Hence, we love this look! We're recreating it with a blue hoodie from a luxe homegrown brand called Kilogram by Crepdog Crew, a white jogger by Beverly Hills Polo Club, and New Balance sneakers. 

Pro-tip: Hoodie outfits inspired by K-pop icons. 

This Monica look is pretty cute, in our opinion! Don’t let the cold winds stop you from slaying. Skirts are a pretty good way to style sweaters and level up winter clothing! Here, we’ve picked a black A-line denim midi skirt, instead of the original corduroy one and paired with a cute black and white cardigan knitted from Cider. Stockings and heeled boots will go well with the entire look. 

We might have said this before and we will say it again, styling skirts is fun, especially in the winter! That is, when you’re not hiding under 10 layers of jackets. In this look, Monica is rocking the monochrome trend before it even became a thing. If you want to feed two birds with one corn (notice how we changed the more violent and murderous version of this old saying?) and recreate Monica Geller looks and nail the monochrome trend, this recommendation is for you. We’ve just elevated the velvet/corduroy skirt Monica is wearing with a Steve Madden faux leather one, and a shimmery bodysuit, so that its perfect for casual dinner dates. 

On some days, comfort dressing is the vibe. Whether you’re going to stroll through the mall or on a picnic date with your best friends, or even a low-key Friday in the office, sometimes we don’t want to put in the effort. But that doesn’t mean that we will completely give up, instead, we will just be like Mark Zuckerberg out on a stroll. Or Monica Geller in this look. It doesn’t get more comfy-chic than Uniqlo’s waffle pants, something that we wish we could wear everyday. Pair that again with Uniqlo’s T-shirt and a quirky denim jacket by The Souled Store to complete the look. 

This noodle strapped floral bodycon dress is a Monica Geller staple. Throughout the series she rocked many thin strapped outfits, this being one of them. A great choice for a day out with the girls (hint: cocktails and brunch), it’s a no-brainer, easy-breezy dress that does the job well! This H&M black dress looks exactly the same, so go ahead, be the Monica Geller to your Rachel and Phoebe. 

An important 90s clubbing outfit, sleeveless shimmery top and coloured flared pants, you can recreate this Monica Geller look if you're looking to channel this look (which is also a huge trend this year). The fashion of the 90s is never going out of style and gen z are all for bringing the good things back from the past. After all, shaking a leg is much easier wearing pants than a tight fitted dress, eh?

This thin strapped red dress that Monica wore to Ross and Emily's wedding is a must include because it reflects an important inflection point in Monica and Chandler's storyline and Monica's character arc. Even though the dress is simple in itself, being in a bright colour like red and in a soft fabric like silk or satin makes it special enough to be adorned on any special occasion in your life. We've found a very similar dress by a Nykaa Fashion hidden gem, IT Girl. Pair it with a charm necklace and a messy bun to complete your recreation of this Monica Geller look! 

Adding a pop of red is the easiest way to make your everyday wardrobe special! Winter is the time of cheer, festivities and Christmas! No amount of red in your closet can be enough, and Monica Geller's simple red sweater with a jacket is a great way to dress up for secret Santa. And we've managed to find a super cute and offbeat turtleneck by Nicobar that's dressing up like Monica Geller but better, and paired it with a Forever New straight leg pant. 

When the weather's about to get cold but not there yet, when summers are just waning and winter is just slowly tiptoeing towards us, the one leg out of your blanket kinda weather as we all know is the perfect time to wear this pretty outfit. This beige floral dress paired with a cream sweater makes for an easy brunch outfit, or even a something you can wear to work if you want to tap into your feminine and girlcore energy.
